Re: ifupdown maintenance
Jumping in in the middle of the conversation, but couldn't resist On 11/7/24 10:23, Martin-Éric Racine wrote: Claiming to offer a drop-in substitute all while nudging people towards a new paradigm is not welcome. If ifupdown's paradigm were working for people we wouldn't be having this conversation. [snip] For my perspective, the main issues with ifupdown are: 1) ifupdown doesn't handle bridges and vlans without external packages, yet it already depends upon iproute2, which provides 'ip' i.e. a command that can handle these quite nicely. 2) ifupdown doesn't include a way to handle DHCPv6-PD for all supported DHCP clients. 3) Since the introduction of systemd units, one can no longer rely on interfaces being brought up sequentially following the order in which they appear in /etc/network/interfaces. 4) That systemd unit generation blissfully ignores anything else that physical interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces which introduces yet more reproducibility problems. Been working on-and-off on an alternative **guaranteed drop-in** alternative for a while, for precisely the same reasons people are mentioning in this thread. Marco D'Itri, Marc Haber, Bernd Zeimetz, Simon Richter, Martin-Éric Racine, Stephan Seitz, Daniel Gröber and others provided invaluable feedback on this matter. Should I be able to release something (maybe a far-fetched proposition) more or less covering the need, what would be the *hard* requirements to have it adopted ?? We are in the same need on my side; might as well not waste too much effort needlessly :) Thanks, -- Parkinson's Law: Work expands to fill the time alloted to it.

Bug#506933: ITP: piwik -- open source web analytics
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jose Luis Tallon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: piwik Version : 0.2.24 Upstream Author : Matt & others * URL : http://www.piwik.org/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: PHP, JavaScript Description : open source web analytics Piwik provides detailed reports on your website visitors: the search engines and keywords they used, the language they speak, your popular pages and more. It aims to be an open source alternative to Google Analytics. . Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program that you download and install on your own webserver. At the end of the five minute installation process you will be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy and paste this tag on websites you wish to track, or alternatively, use an existing plugin to do it automatically for you. There exist plugins for many popular packages, such as WordPress, DokuWiki, Drupal, TYPO3, DotClear2 and more. . What makes Piwik unique from the competition: - Piwik's features are built inside plugins: you can add new features and remove the ones you don't need. Open API for plugin developers - you own your data: because Piwik is installed on your server, the data is stored in your own database and you can get all the statistics using open APIs - the user interface is fully customizable: you can drag and drop the widgets you want to display and create a report especially tailored to you -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It incorporates extensible access to SMBIOS information capabilities and ability to perform unit tests across multiple systems without using physical hardware. Moreover, centralized, data-driven exception handling for broken BIOS tables is provided. To start out with, the focus is on the SMBIOS tables. Currently, full access to the SMBIOS table and its items is implemented. In the future, it will provide $PIR, MPTABLE, RCI, RBU, and other tables as well. Additionally, access and manipulation of Dell Indexed IO Token (type 0xD4) is implemented. This token is a vendor-extention SMBIOS structure which allows uniform access to manipulate the system CMOS to enable, disable, or otherwise manipulate normal BIOS functions or features. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31reiserquota Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Tooltip popup when mouseovering the systemtray icon that displays what device is being monitored and how many TX/RX packets have been transmitted/recieved. Known bugs: It doesn't get the correct RT/TX values from /proc/net/dev because the columns for the numbers are different than the the title columns for a couple people people I've seen (don't know why their dev file is screwy). Its possible that it's the same for people with kernels other than 2.4.x or 2.6.x. If yours is different and you know what columns are what, the columns the program uses are simple defines that you can change before compiling. There's no install rule for the makefile.
